[GLLUG] problems with my sound card...

[Melson, Paul]

Have you recently updated any of the packages (like the kernel or its modules)?  What does 'dmesg' say about detecting your sound card?

	To anyone who can help me:
	
	     As magically as I had sound on my machine, it no
	longer works.  I am running Mankdrake 9.2 the download
	edition; I have a 6 yr. old SoundBlaster Live!
	creative soundcard; I'm using KDE 3.1; and I have
	looked through the HowTo's and man pages to no avail.
	When I first installed linux, I had a problem getting
	my sound to work.  I read all the documentation I
	could find to try and resolve this problem and nothing
	seemed to work, then one day I just re-tried
	everything I read that claimed to fix it again and if
	finally worked.  Yesterday, my sound stopped working.
	I have even triedto update the driver but to no avail,
	I still don't have any sound.  Rather, I receive this
	dialog box that says /dev/dsp cannot be opened,
	continue to use null output device. 
	
	     If anyone has any advice as to what I should do,
	that would be greatly appreciated.
	
	     Thank you for your patience with a linux newbie
	and you assitance.
	
	~Ryan
